When the developer's Apple developer account is about to expire, they may face the following questions: "How to check the remaining time of the developer account?" and "How to renew?" This article will answer these questions in detail.
- How to check account expiration time? If it is less than one month before the expiry date of the developer account, you will automatically receive a notification from Apple in the developer center and iTC background, which gives you plenty of time to complete the renewal operation.
If you do not receive a prompt (that is, more than one month before the account expires), Apple also provides an entry to query the expiration time:
- Log in to the developer center developer.apple.com
- Click "Membership" on the left to enter the query page
- The "Expiration Date" displayed on the right is the account expiration time
- How to renew?
- Log in to the developer center developer.apple.com
- Click the [Renew Membership] button in the Apple prompt section
- Enter the account password to log in according to the prompt
- After successful login, you will directly enter the renewal operation page, fill in the relevant information on this page and complete the order operation
Tips for filling in information:
- Choose a credit card (VISA/MasterCard) with the UnionPay logo for payment
- Credit card needs to open VISA verification service
- If the payment authorization fails, you can try to replace the card or contact online customer service
- Pay attention to fill in the title of the invoice, you can choose the name of the individual or the name of the unit. If you make a mistake, you need to contact Apple for modification (only one opportunity to modify), and please note that currently only ordinary invoices are supported, and special value-added tax invoices are not supported.
After placing the order, you will receive the order details from Apple, and the entire renewal process is complete.
Reminder:
- Normally, you will receive an email confirmation and electronic receipt from Apple soon after the renewal is successful.
- In rare cases, if the order volume is large, Apple may notify you of a delay in processing, you just need to be patient.
- You can check whether the renewal is successful through the query number expiration time entry mentioned in the first part of this article.
- Don't forget to keep the invoice for reimbursement purposes.
If there is no renewal within the specified time, will the APP be removed from the shelves? Need to resubmit for review? If you have not logged into the iTunes background for a long time or did not notice the renewal reminder email, your APP will no longer be displayed on the App Store after it expires.
At this point, your APP status will change to "waiting for agreement" instead of being off the shelf. As long as you renew, it will be displayed in the App Store again after a period of time, and there is no need to resubmit for review.
We all know that if the APP certificate expires, it will also fail. Here we recommend a useful tool-appuploder.
